MISCELLANEOUS.
An Unusual Scene.

1t has already been announced that
Floyd county, Ca, including the
thriving city of Rome, voted on Sat-
urday last in favor of prohibition by
$50 majority in a vote of 1886. The
election in Rome was the most eXcit-
ing in the history of that city, and re-
suited in prohibition majority of PCT.
The unusual spectacle for Southern
city was presented of large number
of women surrounding the polls at the
opening of the election. Many of
these were at the lunch tents making
preparations to give drink and bread
to those who voted and worked for
prohibition. Others with tickets in
their hands stationed themselves at
the polling place and begged all who
came up to vote against the sale of
whiskey. Young men who were
known as anti-prohibitionists were be-
sieged and attempts we're made to
force tickets into their hands. Those
who refused them we're implored to
shove in a dry ticket. Such remarks
as "Oh, he's too nice man to vote
against prohibition, '' If he does I'll
never speak to him again" /" &C., were
common, and some even went so far
as to say to some young men that if
they voted the vet ticket,they, would
be ostracised from society. During
the progress of the voting brass bands
paraded the streets, followed by
crowds with prohibition banners, and
lemonade, sandwiches and other
things were handed to the blue-rfb-
boned voters without respect to color.
The announcement of the prohibition
victory vas greeted with many shouts
and huzzas. Cheers were given
heartily for the ladies of Rome, Sam
Jones. &c.-BnLtinlore Sun.

Bf ABA A. MosfiER.

In recent issrte of the Baltimore San an ex-
Confederate says: '' The discussion in regard
to the return of the Confederate hags has fully
established tho fact that the North VIII not give
them up. The ex-C Confederate soldiers did not
ask for them, nor do 1 tbiuk they want the
flags. Let them remain in the hands OF the
Government rs an evidence Of what the Union
army accomplished; bring them forth from the
hiding places to which they have been con;
signed, place them where they Gan be seen, and
Id order that their history may be fully known
to future generations, have an inscription
placed ON them to show that they were cap
diers from 200. 900 Confederates after desperate
fighting, continuing throtgh period OF four

Aye, faunt your captured battle-hags,
The trophies of your might;
yen, plant them on your Northern crags
And loftiest mountain height.
Shout with a voice that will never weary
The triumph of right. the defeat Of wrong,
Lift it aloft till the eagles eyrie
Echoes the cry of your yictor-song,
Boast as you will,
But remember still
Your trophies are spoils of the strong.
o men of the North. yc were brave, I ken;
But We were three million. remember,
While seven hundred thousand half-starved
men
Gave battle through wilderness, mountain and
glen,
Till despair quenched hopes last ember.
Was it at best an equal test,
Or might to might, of strength 70 strength
Te were four to one for each dauntless breast.
That was barred to your shell through the
cruel length
OF four long years,
Whose blood and tears
Flowed freely to feed your federal cheers.
Keep the winding sheets of the dear, dead cause;
They were banners when heroes bore them,
But they re torn with shell and tho shock of
wars,
And tho spice of powder is DER them.
You may keep them, aye, for the hands that
defended
Were neryeless ere you gained them;
Each marketh a thousand brave lives ended,
And the blood of our best hath stained them.
Do you think round those flags
Our memory lags7
No! it marches with Lee to Fame's high
mountain crags,
Where our soldiers arc resting! then keep
the poor rags.
The Struggle is cnded-and, ah! what use
While the Blue and the Gray are fast asleep
To break the rest of the sounded truce2
Peace, peace, for their graves are deep,
And the blood of the fallen consecrate
The land to peace-thcn pause,
